marijuana

A very important issue for the teens and adults of the U.S. today is the legalization of marijuana. I am very concerned at how important it is to some people. I do not think that marijuana should be legalized. A lot of individuals’ lives seem to be run by it. Users say they can’t eat without it, while they are stuffing their face with a cheeseburger, and not under the influence at the time. Smokers say they can’t be happy without it, as they were laughing hysterically just a moment ago because of a “knock knock” joke, but they weren’t under the influence at that time either.

Illegal drugs should not be made legal because they are illegal for a reason. Heroin, cocaine, meth, and PCP are highly addictive and deadly. Countless people pass away each day from heroin and meth overdose and this issue is not going away. Illegal drugs are easily accessible today, and if they were legalized addiction would become more of an epidemic than it already is. This issue matters to me because my brother has been affected by heroin addiction and it's a huge problem because it's easy to find and cheap.

Should currently illegal drugs be legalized? This is an issue that is extremely popular in society today, specifically in the case of marijuana. Marijuana has recently been legalized in several states but not federally.

In my AP government class we were discussing the difference between states and federal power.. Federally, the distribution and possession of marijuana is outlawed. However, in several states it has been made legal.

Continuing with my research on marijuana and the arguments for and against its legalization across the nation as led me to learn more and more about how much of a hot topic it is and has been for quite some time. Time Magazine had an article back in 2012 explaining the "beginning of the end of pot prohibition." As more states have allowed the legal use of medical marijuana, states like Colorado and Washington have made the recreational use of marijuana legal as well.

Looking more into my research and marijuana and the arguments for and against legalizing it, I came across a link on twitter that led me to a post from www.people-press.org. According to a new survey, people have seemed to change their minds about the legalization of marijuana where 53% favor the legal use and 44% are opposed. "Millennials (currently 18-34) have been in the forefront of this change: 68% favor legalizing marijuana use," reads the article.

According to the recent article that I read from the New York Times, Republicans have warned Obama to think twice about legalizing marijuana in the U.S. As the possession and use of marijuana became legal in Washington D.C. this past month, republicans in the House and Congress say that they are going to continue to work to prevent residents from possessing small amounts of marijuana.

Hello, name is Jose Pineda-Perez an Im a senior at Fremont High School in Oakland. My field research will be based on a survey to students in drug affected areas. I did not have any success yet because I have not completed my survey doc yet.

Hello, I am Jose Pineda. I am currently a student at Fremont High School in Oakland. I have been researching for my senior project for the past 2 months. My topic is on Marijuana whether it should be legalized or not and why. This is my current in progress thesis:

Twenty three states and DC have passed or have enacted laws to start the process of legalization of marijuana. All the states have different possession limits. on how many ounces a person may have on them, how many mature plants they may have, and how many immature plants that they may have.Most sates have not given exact purposes that one would need to legally use marijuana but Massachusetts will only allow marijuana for medical use and New York only allows a 30 day non-smokeable supply.

In the United States there is a constant debate on the legalization of drugs mostly regarding marijuana. Many lobbyist and government officials have opinions for or against the legalization. In the article The pros and cons of drug legalization in the U.S. both sides of the debate are assets.

In my last discussion I talked about the basic pros and cons of legalizing Marijuana. Today I am writing about the legalization in Utah specifically, as many know Utah is a "mormon state". A huge percentage of our population belongs to the LDS church, because of this a large part of our government is also Mormon. Because of this many bills that should be passed in our state get turned down due to the fact most bills wanting to be passed conflict with the moral and prophetic laws of the Mormon members of congress and our government in general.

This issue matters to me not because I’m a rebellious teenager and want to smoke weed everyday but I want this to be legalized for the sick people who need it to deal with the pain of their sickness’. Joycelyn Elders, MD the former US Surgeon General mentions Cancer patients are most known for using marijuana to cope with nausea as well as many other symptoms from the chemo treatment. Even by extracting the THC from the marijuana would significantly help the patients suffering from unbearable symptoms. By eating edibles or using a vaporizer it would cut down on many health risk factors.

If you, reader, watch television, socialize, or go on the internet, you probably know the title is referring to the legalization of Cannabis (fancy term for weed). Let me clear up the probable misconception that I want weed legalized or feel strongly about either side of this dispute. I really do not know what is the right answer to the question of pot legality, but I have come across a lot of interesting information that could go either way.

The question that I ask: Why is marijuana illegal? I chose this question because I know that there are many viewpoints to this argument, both positive and negative. It is also proven that marijuana has health benefits and it is 99% impossible to overdose. Adding to this, there has been an unnecessary war on drugs that has had many people killed and others incarcerated and using tax payer's dollars because they were either using or selling drugs. It is legal in Washington and Colorado for recreational use, but other states, including California, have made medical marijuana legal.

Marijuana is a drug that is widely considered "the gateway drug," or drug that opens the gate for people to try more dangerous and addictive drugs. However, imagine Marijuana actually being considered a drug capable of unlocking the gate to the human brain and the way it heals. Thanks to research performed by Dr. Raphael Mechoulam on mice in his Hebrew University lab, it seems as though Marijuana is heading in said direction. After careful analysis of Dr. Mechoulam's research, as well as research done by Dr.

Hello, my senior project is about marijuana's positive and negative affects on students and their academics. Would you be so kind as fill out my survey? It is anonymous and will take 5 minutes. The purpose of this survey is to compare my findings with the National Institute of Drug Abuse, and for my field research for my paper. Thank you

Today I researched data that I could possibly use for my research paper, and came across a blog that I found to be very interesting simply because it was almost the opposite of what I wanted to find. Instead of finding data that helped back up my own opinions I found a blog by one Dr. Micozzi that challenged what I have found in other areas, and that intrigued me. Dr. Micozzi is strongly against the use of marijuana for people of any age, and voices his opinion loudly.

The Most interesting thing I discovered about the use of marijuana in professional sports was the way the athletes feel about the drug. Many college athletes have recently gotten in trouble for using the drug, so naturally some of that will come into play in the professional game, and possibly more than fans might like to think. In recent interviews with two NFL defensive backs, both admitted that many players on their own team smoke marijuana in the season and in the offseason.

In today's pro sports leagues their has been a lot of talk about the effects pro sports are having on athletes heads. In addition there have been talks about what these athletes can do to amend the head injuries they have conceived through sports. One thing that could help, is being argued, is medicinal marijuana that the athletes can use to help, if not reverse, then just slow the effects of concussions on brains. Many athletes, especially in the NFL condone the use of marijuana.

Drug prohibition and the growing arguments over its possible repeal have intrigued me greatly recently. With marijuana legalisation laws having passed for the first time in American history since the 1930's, I wish to examine the arguments that are growing powerfully on both sides of the debate on legalisation and what their positive and negative consequences would be. I also want to know the differences in opinion on this issue according to demographic lines- I wonder to what extent these effect the beliefs held by the populace.

Many people have argued that the usage of Marijuana is not harmful in any way. They argue that it treats many diseases that people suffer from in today's world such as AIDS, cancer, asthma, mood disorders, epilepsy, insomnia, migraines and many more. But these statements are from unofficial websites meaning they are made by the population. Official websites state facts about the effects of marijuana and reinforce it's prohibition (http://www.whitehouse.gov/ondcp/ondcp-fact-sheets/marijuana-legalization). People say the government should legalize it if most of the population is for it.

Two issues that are gaining both publicity and momentum toward legalization are gay marriage and marijuana. With fifteen states deeming gay marriage legal and two states deeming marijuana legal, America is changing. However, the rate at which America is changing may be slowing down. According to an article on The American Prospect, a liberal bimonthly magazine, says that though sway toward gay marriage and marijuana has fluctuated, they are expecting a decrease in momentum, at least in marijuana legalization.

I am interested in the topic of marijuana. Which is dried up leaves, stems, and flowers from the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. The main active chemical in this is THC which moves quickly through the bloodstream and other parts of the body.

These issues and events, to me, are some of the most important of this century. You may notice that 9/11 is conspicuously absent from the list - but I figure that it’s pretty well accepted that 9/11 is among the important events of recent years, so I thought I would address others. It’s a sort of compliment to your intelligence, really, that I don’t feel I need to hit you over the head with the really obvious ones. But, I’m rambling - let’s get back on track, shall we?
